[He's not the most diligent worker but the time he takes away from the direct task is usually spent chattering away. There's something to be said for the social aspect of it all.

If he wanted to help the Kappa, this was the way to do it. There were people here who got that. He tugs down his headphones when Yuri comes over with the drinks, the faint sound of rap music coming from them,]
Ah, break time? Don't gotta tell me twice!
[he peers over the options,]
... oh, this kinda thing... [he plucks the ramune bottle from the cooler, rocking it back and forth to see the liquid slosh.]
It's like a soda with a fancy bottle. There's like a marble or somethin'? Only had it once or twice.
